Hundreds of years from now, anthropologists will puzzle: twenty-first century humans lived in some of the wealthiest societies in history, yet only a minority of us, around a third, reported being happy. Why? One big problem is that so many of us feel trapped, playing a part rather than being our true selves; pursuing an expected path to success, which is supposed to bring happiness but that doesn't actually excite us or nurture our souls.  Is this you? Perhaps you feel out of your natural element much of the time, undervalued, or left behind. Maybe you long to break free and stop following the herd.  Let's face it, though. We live in a white-sheep world, and that's where Peter Sims initially found himself, working inside the capital markets of London. As "just another suit chasing the next sip of sugar water" in the hamster wheel of life, Sims and his colleagues wondered if there's a better life on the other side? Turns out, the black sheep were everywhere, doing things differently-starting with living life.  If the thought of freeing your inner child exhilarates you, we invite you to crack open this book. If you yearn to dance to your own music, read on. If the idea of black sheep reinventing the world from the ground up excites you, join Peter as he shares his deeply personal journey and the development of the Black Sheep movement

A WALL STREET JOURNAL BEST-SELLING BOOKNAMED BY THE WASHINGTON POST AS ONE OF THE 11 LEADERSHIP BOOKS TO READ IN 2018 Radical Inclusion: What the Post-9/11 World Should Have Taught Us About Leadership examines today¿s leadership landscape and describes the change it demands of leaders. Dempsey and Brafman persuasively explain that today¿s leaders are in competition for the trust and confidence of those they lead more than ever before. They assert that the nature of power is changing and should not be measured by degree of control alone. They offer principles for adaptation and bring them to life with examples from business, academia, government, and the military. In building their argument, Dempsey and Brafman introduce several concepts that illuminate both the vulnerability and the opportunity in leading today: Radical Inclusion. Fear of losing control in our fast-paced, complex, highly scrutinized environment is pushing us toward exclusion-exactly the wrong direction. Leaders should instead develop an instinct for inclusion. The word ¿radical¿ emphasizes the urgency of doing so. The Era of the Digital Echo. The speed and accessibility of information create ¿digital echoes¿ that make facts vulnerable, eroding the trust between leader and follower. Relinquishing Control to Preserve Power. Power and control once went hand in hand, but no longer. In today¿s environment, control is seductive but unlikely to produce optimum, affordable, sustainable solutions. Leaders must relinquish and share control to build and preserve power. The principles discussed in Radical Inclusion are memorable and the book is full of engaging stories. From a young vegan¿s confrontation with opponents in Berkeley to a young lieutenant¿s surprising visitor during the Cold War, from a reflection on the significance of Burning Man to a discussion of challenges faced in the Situation Room, Radical Inclusion will provide you with leadership tools to address real leadership challenges.
